Code Study programme competences / results
A1 Knowledge, understanding and capacity to apply legislation related with water engineering during professional development. Capacity to analyse the working mechanism of the economy and public and private management of water
A6 Capacity to analyse the mechanism of the economy working and the public and private management of water
A7 Knowledge of the fundamentals about the evaluation of water resources and the principal tools for the hydrological planning, starting from theoretical justification and practical applications that lead to the specific problem resolution and the use of updated methodologic (programs and models) for the evaluation of the exploitation, uses, defence, and the management the combined planning of surface and underground water. Knowledge of national and hydrological plans
A9 Knowledge of geographical information systems (SIG) applied to the management of water resources. Knowledge of the basic working of the system for the analysis of the geographical data, making use of SIG tools and support management and the analysis of data regarding water resources.
